James Haigh
James is a leadership development specialist and executive coach who places systemic coaching and constellations at the heart of his work with leaders and teams. He has extensive experience designing and facilitating programmes for executives and entrepreneurs across Europe and Latin America, and teaches leadership at EADA Business School in Barcelona. His clients range across industries from tech scale-ups to global organisations.
His practice is grounded in applied systemic philosophy, integrating embodied, experiential and nature-based methods to reveal underlying patterns and enable flow in human systems. He works with clients to increase systemic awareness, navigate complexity and take meaningful, well-aligned steps that strengthen collaboration and leadership impact.
James lives in Barcelona and works in English, Spanish, Catalan and French. He has trained with Coaching Constellations, in English and in French, to Practitioner level and was then invited to join the teaching team. He has been working with John Whittington and a small team of translators since early 2025 to translate ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations’, a book that lays the foundations for the embodied learning journey.
The Book
In response to the interest in ‘Systemic Coaching and Constellations’ it was updated, expanded and published in 3rd edition in June 2020. It offers a comprehensive and yet very practical introduction to the stance, principles and practices of systemic coaching and constellations. A rich resource of practical exercises and examples of how this methodology can be applied with individuals, groups and teams it has become a trusted source of this important work. Participants of our trainings – whether new to this methodology or already experienced – are invited to read the at least the first three chapters before attending to orientate to the approach and enhance their learning.
Author John Whittington has worked closely with James as he translates the book, together with a translations and editorial team. As a result the Spanish edition will be published later in the year.
Fundamentals Part I
Mapping the Field
Our two-day introductory training explores the practical application of constellations in personal, professional and team-development coaching. After completing this experiential training, participants will have developed an understanding of systemic awareness and will be equipped to start using it in their coaching.
The curriculum includes:
- Mapping – building representational maps that surface the unconscious of the client and the systems they occupy.
- An introduction to the organising principles that sustain and limit systems
- Application and practice in one-to-one coaching settings
- Two exercises to use in team coaching
The learning is shared through a mix of systemic exercises, constellations and teaching. There are opportunities to practise application in one-to-one coaching, as this is often the most effective place to build understanding and confidence before progressing to application with teams or groups. Many participants have identified this mix of teaching and facilitated experiential learning through constellations as very powerful.
This course is open to practising professional coaches. Participants are encouraged to read at least the first two chapters of ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations’ before attending.
This Fundamentals Part I training awards 12 hours CPD, ICF CCEUs
Fundamentals Part II
The Intelligence of the Field
The Fundamentals Part II training explores the rules of belonging in systems and how those rules are in turn influenced by the larger systemic organising forces. Participants deepen their understanding of the stance, principles and practice of systemic coaching and develop their application in one-to-one, team and group settings.
The curriculum includes:
- Connection with our own system intelligence: head, heart and gut
- The unwritten rules of belonging in organisational systems and the intelligence of the wider field
- Practice in one-to-one coaching and exercises to use with teams
- Insights into personal and systemic conscience, boundaries and the hidden loyalties that emerge from these
The training offers a journey into the application of this applied philosophy and has proved to be a turning point for many coaches as they learn to hone their systemic awareness and then embody and apply the principles and practices underpinning this profound and yet very practical methodology.
Fundamentals Part II is for coaches, facilitators and organisational consultants who have completed the Fundamentals Part I training. Participants are required to read at least the first two and last two chapters of ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations’ before attending.
This Fundamentals Part II training awards 18 hours CPD, ICF CCEUs
Fundamentals Part III
The Language of the Field
This two-day training focuses on the practice and application of resonant systemic language that catalyses lasting embodied change in coaching along with personal and professional development. This level supports greater fluency in finding and then expressing the voice of the field in the client and the wider system.
The curriculum includes:
- The hidden language within the cycle of joining, belonging and leaving
- Facilitating constellations with a focus on language and resonant sentences
- Where systemic language comes from and how to articulate it
- The sentence wheel and how to use it
The training offers the chance to explore and co-create ‘resonant systemic sentences’ with the group and offers opportunities for participants to facilitate constellations, in pairs or small groups, with a particular focus on the use of language. This builds understanding and supports coaches to co-create language which touches the depths of the issues that clients bring.
Fundamentals Part III is for those who have completed the Fundamentals Part II training. Participants are invited to read a substantial part of ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations’ before attending – in particular the sections on the use of language, questions and ‘secret sentences’.
This Fundamentals Part III training awards 12 hours CPD and ICF CCEUs
